Now her father is an abusive drunkard and she has to deal with his beatings alone, unwilling to tell even her friends about her home life.

This particular angel, Jacob, has been an angel for hundreds of years, and he is sick of it. He is expected to follow his father's footsteps onto the Heavenly Jury, but desires anything else but to be an angel having to deal with pesky humans day round. But when he is assigned to Aila, will his views change? Does she have the power to change his world as much as past events have changed her?

Her parents had tried to sell her to "G" to get out of debt and this angered the man so, that he took her away from there and had her parents killed.

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
